Draught at Volo. Dec. 20, 2011. Pours a slightly cloudy golden-orange with an average size diminishing frothy white head. Good lacing on the glass. Aroma has a good amount of hops along with yeast and light spices. Flavour’s nice and hoppy (I don’t really get Saaz but it’s hoppy) along with a long, dry, big bitter finish. Medium bodied. Good stuff, I quite enjoyed it.

Hazy pale amber pour with a thick sticky white head. The nose is loaded with bright fresh zesty noble hops and what seems to be fairly distinct yeasty spice component as well. Assertive bitterness and a touch of Munich malt character.  Impressively dry finish. Long lingering finish. Solid.
